Did you know, for example, that Archimedes, unhappy with Apollonius of Perga finding a better approximation to π than his 22/7, threw down the mathematical gauntlet in the form of the formidable "Cattle Problem"? And that to ensure that no one, Apollonius included, could solve the riddle, Archimedes so devised the problem that its smallest solution had 206,545 digits?*
